let your creatively flow

I enjoy seeing something new, interesting, and unexpected; stuff i want to stop and photograph. This on Lorain, West Park Cleveland was one such.

New mural in Ohio City replaces Bernie getting arrested.  Shadows obscure, here is a portion of ancient Greece with a modern addition. Greek coffee is like Turkish coffee, American coffee is different:  it is put in a throwaway container, and is brandished like a torch (either the one with a battery, or real fire).

Well, Parma has replaced the second stolen and vandalised flamingo. A second bunch of probably drunken deplorable yahoos hit this location. Besides being that, these idiots did not have sense to bring a wrench. Using a wrench would have removed the three nuts, instead they snapped the statue off. Well now the flamingos have a bulky gps unit.

There is a graveyard in Cuyahoga Falls that has a large waterfowl pond. There are several farmyard geese, and a pair of  Black Swans that reside there, and sometimes ducky guests. This is the male swan, he is active, and will nip at people.

Three mile water intake crib viewed on a very clear morning from Lakewood; it was  a random shot, i should have taken some care. Pollution used to be so bad, it was seldom seen.

On a Saturday, some of the teachers painted their parking spaces at John Muir Parma.

This fellow in Parma does not disappoint.  Each year he builds a different tableau.  Since i have started snapping fotos of Hallowe'en decorations, there are two houses i try to always see:  this one above, and one in Cleveland near Lakewood [so far that house has no display].  Some are far more locally noted; but those tend to be over stuffed with everything they can find in the stores, and maybe add onto in successive years; as some people do for Christmas, ten pounds of sh*t in an eight pound bag.  But these two have put up a new story in successive years, and tell a story.

When i was a small child, black cats, skeletons, witches, and pumpkins decorated Hallowe'en,  Don't see black cats now.  This is a sign from a barber shop, which had a car smash into it.

Not spooky at all, but i like the housewife cement goose.  There are two other celebrations that have a festive spooky character: Spooky Pooch Parade, and Dia de Muertos.  I really dislike the gruesome, blood & guts, terror presentations; those are wretched.

Marbles is eight, that is eight in dog years. He is a sweet animal. His guardian has had him a year, and named him after his way of walking. This Great Dane steps as if he was walking on marbles. Marbles has leg problems, he spent four years in a too small cage.

scary season

 

In Ohio City, a stretch of Clinton had a bunch of front yards/porches decorated. One house had an Australian, another had a Trinidadian flag, and there were sights for the spooky season. This was purchased, don't know where, it is the only one i've seen. Find it very child friendly, and cute — trick-or-treating dog with an aristocratic cape.

One house was packed full of characters, Mars Attacks.

Governor Frankenstein (better than nearly all Ohio governors for more than two score years).

On Clinton, a few windows had black silhouettes. This crow was above a church entrance.

This fellow in Parma, creates a new scene each year. First found him in 2017, and enjoy each one. That first one i saw was an ATAT Walker from Star Wars. He had been doing this for some time before. He comes up with unique ideas, that i have not seen anyone do. This is from the horror movie franchise, Alien.

Misny has a sign now for most things.

One can play the part for All Hallows Eve, and still have a plea for the national good.

This house is divided, but the one could not go for Moreno.

Doggy costumers meet in Lakewood O.

Fred & Wilma have their pup, Dino, ready to be fotoed.

Hot dog, and taco costumes are popular to outfit the pups.  Generally, whole pumpkins are not investigated too long.

Bane begins a tiny puppuccino. Bane and his family dressed as bats.

suiting up

I thought Nacho was dressed as an ancient golfer, but no, he is a character from the film, Up.

Hallowe'en is dress up time, and scene creation, an opportunity to be fun and creative. When you involve your hounds it is pleasant. Some lawns have fun and timely seasonal displays. While witches, spooks, skeletons, cats, and pumpkins are traditional, some choose to go to ugly horror. This event does not have that worry.
